Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups crushed ice preferably small ice chunks
  • 2 cups fruit punch Kool-Aid ready-made or prepared from powder
  • 1 cup cold water to mix with Kool-Aid powder if using powder
  • 0.5 cup sugar optional, for extra sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups
  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Measure out the crushed ice and set aside; it will be the base for your slush.
  2. If you're using Kool-Aid powder, dissolve the powder and sugar into cold water in a large mixing bowl, stirring until fully combined. If using ready-made fruit punch, skip this step.
  3. Pour the Kool-Aid mixture over the crushed ice in the blender or directly into a large container if blending with ice.
  4. Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30-45 seconds until the ice is finely crushed and the mixture looks slushy, with a vibrant, slightly thickened consistency.
  5. Pause the blender and check the texture; it should be smooth yet still slightly granular. If needed, give it a few more pulses.
  6. Pour the slush into individual glasses or bowls, ensuring a colorful, icy mound with a slightly glossy appearance.
  7. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the icy, fruity burst of flavors and refreshing chill.

Notes

For a smoother texture, you can freeze the Kool-Aid mixture with ice beforehand or adjust the amount of ice for thicker or thinner slushes.
